of John F. de Azavedo for the murder OF
Frank Lewis in Yolo county was resumed
in Justice Williams Court, Washington, on
Saturday morning, and occupied the entire
day. being finally, about ) P. NJ, continued
until tomorrow morning. 1t will proba-
blv occupy considerable time yet, as the
witnesses for the people have rot all been
nut on the stand, and there are many wit
nesses to be heard on behalf of the defense
when the prosecution closes. The evidence
so far tends to show that there were several
shots fred. the first and last being those OF
n shotgun, with which deceased was Killed,
while the others were those OF pistol.
There is much interest manifested IN the
case by the Portuguese, who appear to nave
taken sides in the matter with considerable
feeling.
